Winter is a horrible time for skin. It misses the sunshine, it gets blasted with dry heat, you take longer and hotter showers and you probably wear more makeup to cover up the paleness you are experiencing. My skin is dry, red and covered in blackheads right now and it is all winter’s fault. Winter is also the best time to really pamper your skin and you don’t need to buy expensive face creams or masks to do it. You can use ingredients you probably have in your fridge and pantry right now.
